Here’s what to do with freeloaders!
I found some accesses in my log from eBay this morning. Followed the referrer, and found a page that obviously had borrowed some images from my site.
So first I renamed the files, and had a moment of joy that my bandwidth had gone down.
But then I remembered something LisaJill (don’t remember her link) once said about exchanging a hotlinked image with another incredibly rude image.
Hmmm, I didn’t want to go QUITE that far, but I thought, why not, I’ll do it within reason. Check out the image I put up, as it appeared on the freeloader’s eBay auction site:
Here’s the image (hope I get it to work):

Wonder what he’ll tell his bidders?

I have a great htaccess script for blocking all bandwidth thieves.
Let me know if you want it.
